What is a 404 page?

Essentially, 404 page is the error page that displays to your users when they go to a page that doesn’t exist within your active website.

JAMB Result: What You Should Know About Score Upgrade

JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Olarewaju Oloyede Each passing day, fraudsters parade themselves virtually – and even physically – as Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board ( JAMB ) agents; thus exploiting young innocent candidates. They will tell you that they are working in collaboration with JAMB and can help you boost your less than 200 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination ( UTME) score to 250 and above. Concise News understands that these unscrupulous elements claim to have the ability to upgrade results for those who fail to score up to JAMB’s cut-off mark. As a matter of fact, they present false evidence of the UTME results they have upgraded in the past. Indeed, these are all photoshop! Just as JAMB ‘expo’ fails to work in this era of JAMB CBT, so also the purported UTME result upgrade does not work. UTME result upgrade is nothing but a scam and myth! You need to be careful. Do not send your parent’s hard-earned money to (internet) fraudsters in the ...

JAMB to candidates: Don’t accept admissions not done through CAPS

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board Monday issued a stern warning to candidates not to accept any admission not done through its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). It noted that any offer of admission that was not validated on their profile page with JAMB or offered through the CAPS was invalid. It stated these on its weekly bulletin sent to reporters on Monday in Abuja by its Spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin. JAMB, in the bulletin, noted that there was a ploy by three unnamed public universities to lure innocent and more qualified candidates from their preferred programmes so that they could accept other programmes. The board noted that such admission offers were illegal and would not be recognised by the board. It said any candidate who accepts such offer of admission does so at his or her own risk as there will be no regularisation of any irregular or condonment of illegal admission.

7 Ways to Make Money With Your Smartphone Pics

This post may contain affiliate links. Regardless, I only recommend products and services I trust. 7 Ways to Make Money With Your Smartphone Pics There are dozens of companies out there who buy stock imagery, but recently a few have cropped up that specifically cater to people who use their smart phones and tablets as cameras. These companies generally release mobile apps designed for uploading the photos right off your device. Selling stock photos can be a great way to make money. Some companies will give you more than fifty percent of the profits from your sales, and since prices on photos can occasionally go over 100 dollars, that can really add up in a hurry. But selling stock photography is definitely a numbers game. The sites that sell photos have many thousands of pictures available for buyers to browse through, so you’ll need to have a large number of your own photos in the mix, and you’ll need to get the right kinds of photos—those that fit in very high selling categories,...

Pusha T Talks About The Current State Of Hip-Hop And When He Will Be Retiring

Pusha T has been grinding for a quarter century, building on the foundation he laid as part of Clipse. The rapper, who is now 41 years old, still has a lot of plans for the future, including the curation of a mixtape featuring up and coming rappers. During a recent interview, Pusha spoke about the new generation of Hip Hop and how he perceives himself within the current era of the genre. He has no plans to retire as of yet. From his perspective as a veteran emcee, the run only ends once the spark for creativity is lost. "I don’t think lyric-driven hip-hop goes out of style. I think that stays around forever, and then I feel like you retire when you’re out of the mix of it and out of the culture and lifestyle of it. When you start not caring about hip-hop aesthetics and just being first and competing, then you supposed to be like, alright cool, I’m out. But until then, I still know what’s fresh to put on and so on and so forth." While maintaining his sta...

Chelsea Keeps Interest In Everton’s Richarlison

Chelsea are still interested in signing Everton forward Richarlison, according to reports. The Blues were linked with a move for the 21-year-old earlier this year following a bright start to life in English football with Watford. However, Richarlison ultimately joined Everton and reunited with his former Watford boss Marco Silva in a deal which could rise to £50m, and he has gone on to score six goals in 12 league games for the Toffees. Goal Brazil reports that Chelsea are continuing to monitor the forward, keeping close tabs on him ahead of the January transfer window reopening next month. Richarlison's form so far this season has earned him an international debut, and he has hit the ground running for Brazil with three goals in his first six caps. Everton are unwilling to sell the youngster so soon after bringing him to the club, though, and Chelsea would likely have to table a bid well in excess of £50m to prise him away from Goodison Park
